<h1>Debugging: Call Stack Window</h1>
<a name="BEGIN" id="BEGIN"></a>
<p>The Call Stack window lists the sequence of calls made during execution. When the debugger is suspended, the Call Stack window shows the sequence of function calls (i.e., the call stack). On initial suspension, the top-most stack frame is selected automatically. 
<object classid="java:org.netbeans.modules.javahelp.BrowserDisplayer">

<param name="text" value="<html><u>How?</u></html>">
<param name="textFontSize" value="medium">
<param name="textColor" value="blue">
</object>
</p>
<p>Double-click on a function call in the window to go to that line in the editor. You can double-click on a call stack frame to select it, then explore any variable or expression values for that frame in the Variables and Watches windows.</p>
